December 5, 2005: Christy Hemme and unexpectedly released from her World Wrestling Entertainment contract..

From ChristyHemme.com:

Hello everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has and is still supporting me. Even though the partnership with WWE and I did not end very will (sic), I am truly thankful for the experience. All I can say at this time to clear up some of the rumors, there was no battle over money. Money was never my motivation for working. Truth is that I was completely dedicated to the company and believed in everything I was doing. I trusted it. I was willing to put my personal life aside to give everything I had to what I was doin and become better wrestler/performer. I was told that I was a budget cut and creatively they didn’t have anything for me. I am very disappointed in the WWE, where I learned a very important lesson. I am a very determined person with a huge amount of engery for my life and my career. Everything happens for a reason and anything that has happened in my life that has knocked me down has only built me back up stronger. I feel stronger than ever and I am hungry for this huge future before me. Again, THANK YOU soooo much to everyone who has believed in me and is supporting me.

Mike Aldren wrote (January 1, 2009) Christy Hemme announced her retirement from the ring but will remain with TNA in a non-wrestling role. She has replaced Lauren Thompson as the backstage interviewer who has left the company. Hemme noted that she had found herself nervous about the possibility of re-injuring her neck since her return in August. She herniated two discs during wrestling practise back in January and underwent neuro cranial realignment. She said her neck feels great now but doesn’t want to risk long-term health issues. Hemme just got engaged to her boyfriend Charley Paterson. He popped the question during a Christmas break at his families cabin in Oregon.
